Slovakia - Cross Index of towns.

There is a microfische cross reference of all towns in Slovakia
and the parish under which the data is recorded. The data is a
book the has been put on both microfische and microfilm. Most FHCs have
one or the other.
If neither is available, you should order the microfiche since it then
becomes part of the
permanent records at the FHC>

To use, you look up the name of the town/village at the back of the
book.
Villages and towns are listed Alphabetically. Along with the town will
be a
list of page numbers. Go to each of the page numbers and scan the page
for
your village name. The village name will be listed under the name of the
town parish
where the church data was recorded.

Looking on pages 286 Shows a town listed as Bystrany
and included under Bystrany are records for Bystrany, Hincovce & Trstany

from 1779 - 1896, Roman Catholic. Now, use the computer
to Look up Bystrany and you will find the microfilm numbers
for the Church (Roman Catholic) and towns listed.

Looking under Page 289 is the identifying data for the
Evangelical Reformed Church where Hincovce data can be found.

Looking at page 308 identifies the town under which Jewish
records can be found.

I hope this makes some sense
